that society has che right to protect
itself. But in doing this it should
secure to every man the fullest en-
ioyments Of liberty, consistent with
the safety of society. 1t should
through its legislators make laws
protecting the innocent from the de-
privation of their rights by the vici-
GUS, and protecting the weak from the
cruelty OF the strong. Such laws
will have restraining influence ON
the vicious and an educational influ'
ence on the masses.
The power to make law carries with
lit the power to unmake law.
If selling intoxicants is injurious
to society the power to do this should
be taken from the privileged class
who sell it MS a beverage, and placed
in the hands of such only as will sell
it for good uses only Tie power to
sell it as beverage has been taken
from the masses. Why does it WORK
greater hardship on saloon keeper
to take from him7 Every avenue to
success lies open to the masses. Nc
one is prohibited from being drug
gist who will fit himself forit. Why
should man claim the right as an
individual to make and sell as a bev
erage poison7 A fool can see that
if he put it into meat and it produced
as much destruction to life and prop
erty as it does in water and sugar he
would not be permitted to sell it.
Greed says: sect revenue out ol
it," Appetite says: Il don't care
who sinks so I swim, l can take care
of myself"
It wrecks the physical powers, i'm
pairs the mind, enfeebles the memo
ry, blunts the sensibilities, weakens
the will and at last it destroys both
soul and body. 1t makes 10000
drunkards, fills 10000 graves, causes
35, 900 widows to take up life's bur
dens alone, and leaves $4,000 child
rem to be fed and clothed and educat
ed by society every year. 1t drapes
the earth with mourning and fills the
air with the walls Of the ,bereaved and
the dying. 1t is chargeable with from
70 to 80 per cent of the lunacy, wig
rancy, crime and mdrder that makes
the present q living pandemonium
and the future q hideous and unen-
durable horror. 1t burdens the peo
pie with taxation, corrupts the the
ballot box, whips the statesman into
the whisky harness and drives it's
inegernaut car over the hearts OF the
widows and the bones of the or.
phans.
Its monied syndicates in the sever
al states have combined to rob the
individual state Of it's sovereignty AND
carry elections by fraud. 1t threat,
ems to overthrow our present form o1
government and claims to be apowei
